I wish my cat would do that so i could have a pic like that
God bless

I generally do the same, but every now and then it’s worthwhile to satisfy a cat’s curiosity. Most of the time they’ll turn their nose up at it, wander off and that is that.

Of course, then there’s my little spazball Sheba who earned the nickname Rocket for a reason. She likes black coffee. Strong black coffee. She’ll sit there and drink it out of the mug.

My cat like to eat plastic bags. *sigh*

One of mine likes to chew on tape….geeeez!

Mine likes to play with pens. She will surpirse attack your pen while you are writing with it if you don’t pay her any attention! A bad thing for my kids when they are doing schoolwork!

The late, not so great Moppet (Miss Dumber-Than-Rocks a.k.a. “The Feminist Cat” because she would have NOTHING to do with any man) some years back ingested a sticky hand. For those of you without pre-teen boys, a sticky hand is made of some stretchy, quasi-gelatinous substance, is roughly shaped like a hand, and will stick to a wall if thrown against it.

Anyway, we had not even missed the toy until Moppet tried to pass it, without success. Even worse was the fact that, at the time the discovery was made, Grandpa was baby-sitting the kids. Poor Grandpa had to shut himself up in the bathroom with the cat and gently pull the toy from Moppet’s “back door.” The kids still talk about the noises that eminated from the bathroom that afternoon–some things are best left to the imagination!

Needless to say, sticky hands have since been banned from our household. The youngest has just about outgrown that stage now.

Ginny, what a funny story! The visual is too much? How did Moppet manage to eat one of those to begin with. Aren’t they rather large for a cat to swallow? Thanks for the laugh!

OH NO! on the Moppet story. Poor cat!

I had one eat a necklace once. Needless to say, after that all my necklaces got locked up!

My male cat Tom loves Ice Cream (tries to lick the wrappers but that was a no-no), he also loves to lick out the platstic bowls which have had rice pudding in, in fact I think anything that has had milk in it (he sniffs the teacup but decided it’s not for him!) I think generally he likes to investigate everything!! He’s a real Nosspot.

Lynn,

How Moppet managed to eat that $#%$#@% thing is anyone’s guess–it hadn’t even been missed until it began coming out!

My first cat, Whiskers loved to lick the Haagen Daz ice cream bars. As soon as she heard the sound of me opening one, she would come running, would wait till I ate all the chocolate coating and licked a little of the ice cream and then I would let her lick some from the bar. She loved them because they are so high in cream content. She also like butter and the whipped cream.

Now on the other hand Sylvester will have nothing to do with human food other than some types of crackers, croissants, butter or whip cream.

Does the ‘no men’ rule apply to feminist *cats* only? Because I’m a feminist and I have a boyfriend, and if I’m breaking the rules I’d like to know now

It’s O.K., Abby–rules were made to be broken

My Desdemona likes to like the inside of my coffee cup, once I’ve drunk the coffee. I think she likes the half and half dregs that cling to the side-

I meant “lick” the inside of my coffee cup-

My cat Thomas once ate the “sponge” from the bottom of a package of chicken-even th plastic part !! That was a frantic call to the vet. Everything came out O.K. pardon the pun. He also loves ice cream. Chaos on the other hand loves anything salty and crunchy-potatoe chips, saltine crackers, cheetos etc. My 18 year old son taught her to eat that stuff.

The only toy Taffy would play with was a pink sponge curler. That little fool would flip it up in the air then hide it under the coffee table to discover it later and tame it all over again. He would also get on the back of my chair when I was setting my hair and try and steal them right out of my hair. My first cat loved playing with them too and cubba bubba Domino would just watch.

My cat Polar Bear has always had a strange fondness for licking the Ivory soap bar, but only after it had been used and was wet. Needless to say we ended up getting liquid soap for the bathroom!

They are only really good if they have been left out overnight to get stale. Not sure why but they taste better that way. My old college roommate turned me on to that one. She would say the peeps have to breathe like wine!

Ew. I can’t stand them that way.

Oh well, I suppose Peeps are one of those individualized things.

Well, I guess they couldn’t taste worse that way….

must be a VERY individualized thing

Oh no! Peeps have to be frozen to have that EXTRA chewy texture. It’s an acquired taste but it does seem to run in the family…..unfortunately.

Hmmmm Frozen peeps. Ment Note: Must freeze the peeps.

I love peeps stale too! Very chewy then. I also freeze marshmallow items, especially three musketerrs. SO awesome!!

As my roommate knows, it is dangerous to mention Peeps in my vicinity. I have some VERY strong opinions about which are the REAL peeps–yellow or pink, chick or bunny-shaped only!! None of this baby-blue, lime-green, strawberry-flavored heart-shaped stuff. Those are POSERS, not Peeps.

However, within those certain narrow boundaries, I adore Peeps. My mom always picks me up a pack for Easter–a throwback to my childhood.

You don’t eat seafood and you own cats? What is a nice shrimp day without the hordes hounding you for a bite?

My CATS don’t like it either. I guess they just aren’t used to it. I can open a can of tuna and they don’t care.

If I open a can of refried beans though - they go crazy - LOL. Go figure.

I’m one of those meat and potatoes people. Finely cooked cows and pigs are my friends - lol.

You don’t like marshmallows OR seafood? Heck, I make s’mores with peeps sometimes. Why yes, I do have a sick sense of humor, next question.

Another fun activity with peeps is to take two peeps, put a toothpick in each one facing forward, and put them both in the microwave. Turn the microwave on HIGH. They’ll joust, and the loser will explode. (Cleaning up after this activity is a bit of a mess.)

I agree about the peeps to me they are too sweet and this coming from a girl who can eat cake icing right out of the container but I LOVE cotton candy. And I agree with Huddy’s Mama, I don’t eat fish either. I also don’t eat chicken (but I eat Turkey), bar-b-que (even though I have been born and bred in Texas), any type of seafood ewwwwwwww.

My husband says that I am not a true Texan because I refused to eat bar-b-que and fish.

To each his own right!!

I’ve done that

Tracie:

I’ll eat chicken but not turkey - lol. I love barbecue, but it’s gotta be good barbecue. Some people think if they boil some meat, smoke it for an hour and drown it in (disgustingly sweet) sauce that they can call it barbecue - not true not true.

It’s O.K. Tracie–I like my chili with beans, and I’m a Texan. Beanless chili is for hot dogs!

For the non-Texan: We have the reputation for believing that putting beans in chili is sacreligeous and grounds for excommunication. Other than that, what you put in chili is no big deal.

Ginny, I have to have beans in my chili. But I also put picante sauce and shredded cheese on my pinto beans.

But if you microwave a cockroach, they just walk away. Pretty creepy.
I’ve blown up a few peeps, it’s really funny

Heh! No, I do too. Try holding a peep joust with your kids.

CD in a microwave is pretty funny too. Just do it when you are ready to get rid of the microwave in question

Okay, am starting to wonder about you folks. Microwaving peeps and cockroaches for fun. Oh boy.

Cockroaches also survive freezing. They are also believed to be able to survive a nuclear attack.

Maybe Franz Kafka was on to something.

So at the end of it all we will have cockroaches eating peeps and drinking Mountain Dew

Wow thank God I have never been that bored!

If you put the cockroach in a bowl of water and then nuke it you can kill it. It takes a few minutes.

if you take baking power and sugar, mix it 2 to 1, and place small mounds in the back of drawers, cabinets, behind the fridge, etc. The cockroaches walk through it, get it on their legs, and when they “clean” themselves, they ingest it, and then explode, because they can’t belch!
T

Has anyone ever tried the recipe for blowing up ants?
1 tbsp baker’s yeast, 2 tbsp. sugar in 1 pint of water.
I’ve always wanted to try it, for getting rid of ants but I always forget to buy some yeast. Plus, I’d be afraid to put it outside for my cats might eat it. Yeast and cats don’t mix! I seen this on one of those natural remedies show for alternatives to pesticide.

Very funny Ginny!

Lol!

That and when they wear a thong and the straps show oh yuck. I equate a thong with dental floss for the butt.
